In a study at the University of Toronto libraries, observers recorded protocols for 100 OPAC search sessions. This article reports on the analysis of these protocols, and examines zero-hit subject searches in particular to explore the the effectiveness of various conversions of users' queries to improve recall. Although the number of zero-hit subject searches analyzes was small, this exploratory study yielded some findings that merit consideration in efforts to improve subject access in OPACs.
